From REI:
"The La Sportiva Karakorum boots deliver solid, heavy-duty support for tough wilderness courses, long hauls and ventures above the treeline, with the added bonus of crampon compatibility. Uppers feature 2.8mm Idro-Perwanger silicone-impregnated roughout leather, which is highly water-resistant, breathable and extremely abrasion resistant. Vibram® rubber toe rands protect feet and uppers from bumps and abrasion; cuffs are reinforced with Cordura® nylon for increased longevity. Dry-Best® linings optimize moisture transfer away from feet with a system that includes Hydrofil® wicking nylon, keeping feet dry, cool and comfortable. 3D Flex™ ankle hinge system articulates for side-to-side flexibility and improved agility on uneven terrain; system also helps shorten break-in time. Polyurethane SBR Aircushion midsoles absorb shock and provide ample cushioning for long approaches. 8mm high density nylon insoles with anti-torsion plates provide support underfoot for handling uneven terrain and heavy loads. Vibram Couloir rubber outsoles supply superb traction on rough terrain; compatible with hybrid crampons."

I wore the Karakorams for about five days prior to my trip for maybe a total of 5 hours, street walking only."
